Members of the Junior League of Fort Worth's 2021 – 22 All aBoard cohort
As part of its mission to improve communities through stewardship and leadership, the Junior League of Fort Worth on Tuesday announced members of the 2021 – 22 All aBoard cohort.
All aBoard is a yearlong leadership development program designed to train members to serve in leadership positions in the Junior League of Fort Worth and in the community. The program was developed as part of the Junior League's mission of “developing the potential of women.”
Cohort members will be trained on topics such as governance, advocacy, and finance for nonprofits, as well as goal setting, public speaking, and general leadership skills.
Founded in 1929, the Junior League of Fort Worth is a charitable nonprofit organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism and improving communities through “action and leadership” of trained volunteers.
The 2021 – 22 All aBoard cohort will also be participating in the BoardBuild training program. BoardBuild is a nonprofit organization that trains emerging leaders to serve on nonprofit boards. BoardBuild also helps match nonprofit organizations with board candidates.
As part of the program, members heard from community leaders from the Junior League of Fort Worth, the city of Fort Worth, and the local community. This year’s members will be given the opportunity to learn from Christina Brooks, chief equity officer and director of diversity and inclusion for the City of Fort Worth; Leah King, CEO of the United Way of Tarrant County; and JLFW sustainers Judie Greenman and Janie Harper.
